  Genus Brachiosaurus
Brachiosaurus was a massive plant-eating dinosaur that lived in the late Jurassic period (156 to 145 million years ago), and may have survived even until 140 million years ago, into the early Cretaceous period. Brachiosaurus fossils have been found in North America and Africa, the very first example having been discovered by Elmer S. Riggs in Grand River Canyon, western Colorado in 1900.

Of all the land animals for which a complete skeleton exists, Brachiosaurus is the largest and heaviest. An average Brachiosaurus was 75 feet (22.9 metres) long, 41 feet (12.5 metres) tall, and weighed 89 tons (almost three times the weight of Apatosaurus).

Brachiosaurus was unusual among dinosaurs, in that its front legs were longer than its hind legs. This, together with its very long neck, gave Brachiosaurus the ability to eat foliage at the top of trees as high as 40 or 50 feet (12.2 to 15.2 metres) above the ground.

Timeline:
Brachiosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived  from 156 to 140 million years ago

  • Fantastic Standard Playing Card Deck Featuring 54 unique images
Product Description:
We often imagine dinosaurs as colossal flesh eating beasts that once roamed ancient landscapes. These "terrible lizards" occupied all the lands of our planet for eons. Of the hundreds of different species, some were indeed gigantic but many were comparable in size to our largest breeds of dog, and were often vegetarian. This wonderful pack of illustrated playing cards, the work of artist Cecilia Fitzsimons, brings to life 54 different types of dinosaurs, giving an indication of their size, together with the area and prehistoric period in which they lived. We continue to marvel at these strange and widely diverse creatures as we try to complete our understanding of life in the age of the dinosaurs.
